| Tube amp selection- for Magnepan 1.6QR I thought that Audio Research and Magnepan were usually a pretty good match. They seem to do a lot of shows together, at least in the past. | |
| Best floorstanding speakers less than $500 I think a Vadersteen 1 would give you very good performance with decent bass extension. | |
| Describe the ideal high end audio dealership Attitude is something that can be changed at little cost, and it does seem that some dealers seem to have a problem in this area. But carrying everything and in-home trials of everything would be beyond the financial means of most real world deale... | |
| Describe the ideal high end audio dealership I agree with alot of what has been said. I just wonder if the "ideal" dealership could stay in business. | |
| Nice used tube amp under $1000 used Those Quicksilvers would be a very good choice IMHO, more than enough power for most music with those speakers. | |
| Lacking Soundstage - Vandersteen 2C Livin_262002, have been able to move the speakers further from the back wall? Say 4 ft? You are likely to benefit from some side absorbtion panels as well. But getting them 6ft apart was a major and necessary move. | |
| Ideas for used SS amp I'm not sure I would use something as good a the Pass just for bass, not if you might be going full range in the future the Pass is one of the better choices for high-powered SS -- do you need that much power to drive the VR5? | |
| Nice used tube amp under $1000 used What speakers? | |
| I would like some feedback on a int. amp Agree with Br3098, we need to know the speakers to make a better recommendation. | |
| I want to try tubes, need suggestions What speakers? Absent that, hard to make a specific recommendation. For example, the Leben, just recommended, will be fantastic or woefully underpowered or impedance mismatched - the speakers are the starting point for finding the right amp IMHO. ... | |
| Speakers to build a $6500 system around I think Vandersteen 2Ces would be ideal for a system in that price range, though you proabably will need a 100 watt SS integrated. I think the Vandersteen line offers a lot of full range sound and quality for the money. | |
| New or Old DAC Isn't there a trial period with the Benchmark DACs? If so, it would be interesting to compare with your Theta. | |
| New or Old DAC I spoke with Jerry Ozment, designer of Audio Logic DACs and other highly regarded DAC about 4 to 5 years ago. At the time, he felt it was unlikely that there would be any significant improvements in digital processing that would improve upon what ... | |
| Merlin VSM compared to ATC 100ASL active LARSS, how did you come to decide between these two speakers? They seem to be quite different. For my taste, for small group jazz, acoustic music, voice - you get the idea - there very few speakers that can compare with the Merlins, especially in ... | |
| Most beneficial change . I agree with SBank on the quality of your speakers. They are very good. I would be careful with large full-range speakers in that room, it would get overloaded with bass in a very unpleasant manner IMHO without really well applied room treatment -... |
